Katharine Hepburn and Peter O’Toole battle royal wits in this fast-paced drama, fueled by clever dialogue and rich history.
Katharine Hepburn earned one of her five Oscars for portraying the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine. Even at Christmas, Eleanor and King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) can’t resist engaging in a battle of royal wits that pits elder son Richard (Anthony Hopkins) against his brothers, while the cunning King Philip of France (Timothy Dalton) has a few cards to play himself. Fueled by clever dialogue and rich history, this ruthless chess game reveals deep truths about love, power and the desire for both. D: Anthony Harvey, UK, 1968, 134m
